* Reuters brings us the following report and it starts
off like this…An NBC news team was freed in Syria during a firefight at an
Islamic rebel checkpoint five days after being ambushed and kidnapped by 15
heavily armed gunmen, correspondent Richard Engel said on Tuesday… Engel, 39,
who along with production crew members Ghazi Balkiz and John Kooistra disappeared
after crossing into northwestern Syria from Turkey on Thursday, said their
kidnappers were members of a militia loyal to President Bashar al-Assad…

* The Sydney Morning Herald has this take on the news…NBC's chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel said on
Tuesday he and members of his network crew escaped unharmed after five days of
captivity in Syria, where more than a dozen pro-regime gunmen
dragged them from their car, killed one of their rebel escorts and subjected
them to mock executions…

Since that
tragic day on 9-11-2001… many of our bravest have given their all while
fighting for this great country of ours. Please take a moment to thank them, in
your own way, for all they have done and were willing to do for you -- me and
this great country of ours. May God bless each and every one of these fallen
Heroes, all of those who have been wounded, all of their families, friends,
loved ones and their comrades in arms who were at their side.

About Me

My pen name is AubreyJ... I’m 60 years young and I live in Shreveport, LA. I've been married only once and that is to the same lovely lady named Amy. (It’s hard to believe that after all these years she still claims me as hers!) Have one Daughter named Michelle and two wonderful Grandsons named David, (18) and Chase, (13). I spent most of my adult life as a Manager in the Sales and Service profession. Today I am semi-retired and spend most of my time searching for news stories and Blogging on the ones that I find news worthy. I’m a... just right of the middle... Republican, who’s 1000% Pro Victory on the War on Terror. I’m a strong supporter of the Troops and my Political Party... Even though I find myself in some disagreement, yet MAJOR disappointment with where the leaders of my Party have taken us over these last so many years. Sadly -- I still cannot find very much of anything that I agree with the Dems on these days... GOD BLESS THE TROOPS... their families and this great country of ours.
